Day 103...Guitar Hero

I brought my guitar to work today for the first time. It was so much fun! I got to start off the morning circle time with several songs, and the kids loved it! It's been awhile since I've played, not to mention my singing voice sounded a little funny since I've been battling a cold, but everything just came flowing back to me! My guitar is so much a part of me, it just felt right to have it there.

Later at afternoon circle, I let the kids each take a turn strumming the guitar. They were mesmerized, it was so cute! And they got to explore the guitar case with it's hard exterior and fuzzy insides. :) We sang a few more songs during the afternoon circle too until it was time for them to go home.

Otherwise, the day had gone alright, but it was still a bit unsettled for the few kids that we actually had today. But luckily the guitar came to save the day! I think that was the first time I had every single kid sitting quietly around the circle, just waiting to hear the guitar. So I decided to leave the guitar in the classroom so that I can bring it out again next week when we all come back from the Thanksgiving break. Even my lead mentioned that she was a little jealous of my guitar playing, and wished that her circle times were as fun as mine. I win!

“Any problem you can't solve with a good guitar, is either, unsolvable or isn't a problem.” Who knows....maybe someday Pickle will be a guitar hero! ;)
